Sounds like a medieval scourge right? Article in KC Star, October 1, E4 describes the latest tree disease, moving west to east. Right now in Denver. It affects the Eastern Black Walnut. Colorado Springs and Boulder black walnuts have been basically wiped out. Going around the lake, you can see bw on many properties including WLIC. Now imagine them gone. I'm not a huge fan of bw (I am spending a fair amount of time right now picking up the noxious nuts) but the cost alone of removing dead or diseased trees could be substantial. Extension folks are likening 1000 Canker to Dutch Elm disease.
